In the era that we are living through at the moment, staying current has become increasingly tied to having some connection to that place that some people like to call the clock app. Whether or not that’s a good thing is up for debate, but the outcome is clear in that more people than ever are using TikTok and becoming TikTokers. The app has millions glued to their For You pages, waiting for the next wild story or interesting diversion (or even just a few good memes). 

TikTok’s influence doesn’t stop at the app itself. In fact, it spills across all of internet culture as we know. Even those who don’t use it often easily pick up on the tics of TikTokers, whose content ranges from relatability to pure randomness. It’s an entire world unto itself, and parts of it are undeniably hilarious enough that they can survive elsewhere.
